Idea Summary
The proposed enhancement aims to automate the selection process for List of Values (LOVs) during the copying of pages in Oracle APEX. Currently, when users opt to use an existing LOV, they are required to manually choose from a list, even when the LOV has an identical name in both the source and destination applications. This idea suggests an improvement to the LOV selection wizard, whereby if a LOV with the same name exists in both applications, it should be automatically displayed in the "Existing LOV" column. This enhancement aims to streamline and expedite the page creation process in Oracle APEX.
Use Case
This idea is particularly beneficial in scenarios where users frequently duplicate pages from one application to another and encounter List of Values with matching names. By automating the detection and display of existing LOVs with identical names during the copy process, users will experience a more intuitive and efficient workflow. This enhancement caters to developers and administrators who engage in application design and replication tasks, reducing manual effort and minimizing the chance of oversight when selecting existing LOVs.
Preferred Solution (Optional)
The preferred solution involves enhancing the LOV selection wizard to include an automatic display of LOVs with matching names during page copying. The wizard should intelligently recognize identical LOV names and present them in the "Existing LOV" column, eliminating the need for users to manually sift through the list. This enhancement can be implemented by refining the LOV selection logic in the APEX framework, ensuring that the system seamlessly identifies and displays relevant existing LOVs. Such an improvement would contribute significantly to the user experience by promoting a more user-friendly and time-efficient application design process.
